Forgive me for it has been 5 days since my last confession! Not the best of starts, but a guy has other commitments too!
Life went on... for the most part. Worked with the fun guys for two shifts, and onto night shifts tonight.
My job never ceases to amaze me. I spent a few hours last night trying to solve a recurring problem. I had many successful conversations and felt justified in my decisions. Until. Just until.
Why are there people in authority who just cannot see the whole picture, and insist on breaking a problem down into it's component parts, then just deal with the least troubling to them personally, or worse still wash their hands of it completely? Cryptic I know, but confidentiality is a big part of the job, and a part of life. There I am complaining that people fail to see the whole issue, then show you one piece of the jigsaw!
Here's one for you... last night, whilst trying to solve the aforementioned problem, I was told that I care too much. It was said as a compliment, and I took it as such. It just seems that, given the job I do, I am able to care too much, but unable to deliver the care that I want and need to deliver, as the system is not geared to meet the demand.
As a result, I am unsure of the outcome of the situation. I really sincerely hope that the results were good, and that the people who created the problem will be re-educated in the ways of their mistakes. Sadly, I doubt it.
Chances are, if you know me, you know what I do. I can't imagine anyone else being here yet!
I confess. I used to blog under a different name. I slipped, and did not blog for a looooong while, and needed to make myself a bit more anonymous. So, Stan-By's blog is born, the diary of a sometimes completely barking mad Healthcare Professional, with emphasis on the Professional aspect of the title. He has served the Community of Anywhere for too many years!
